A special reunion!

June 26, 2012 Temple Square. A perfect place for this amazing reunion! It's crazy to think that the last time Mya saw you all together was almost one year ago! I remember it like it was yesterday so that seems so weird!
Mya is so lucky to have such a great birth family! Nick and I have said from the beginning we really have had the PERFECT adoption experience and a huge part f that has been you and your wonderful family!
She loved that water!
You two look so cute! I love when she scrunches her nose and smiles like that!
I love this picture. I can totally see you as a great Mom.
Your cute mom was so nice to let Mya play with her necklace, Mya loves jewelry!
Your Dad was amazing with her, I think you are right when you said they have a special bond!
He was also a trooper for letting her get her little fingerprints all over his glasses! Dad's and Grandpa's are the coolest!!
We love you so much!
This is her funny nose scrunching face Nick was telling you about. She has been doing it a lot lately!

You two are model worthy, this looks like it should be in the Ensign or some other magazine!
Thanks for letting me get this picture of your feet! Every time I see her feet it reminds me of you.
ET!
I think she could have done that all day!

She had so much fun with you guys, she was out like a light the second we put her in the car.
I loved when she was trying to climb this wall to get to the fountain herself!

Thank you to you and your parents for coming down to Salt Lake the day before a big family vacation. We know you had plenty of other things to worry about! Thank you for dinner too, it was delicious! It was so fun to see you and your parents. I love that they got to see her so grown up and different! She is quite an amazing little thing and I am so happy they got to see that in person! We are going to miss you like crazy! We are so proud of you making it into Westpoint and we cannot wait to hear stories, see pictures and even come to visit. You're a one of a kind in our eyes and we couldn't be happier for you. Please let us know if you need anything at all. We are always here for you. Thanks again for coming to see us, this will be such a special day for her to look back on. We love you!

Good Luck in New York!!!!

P.S. Nick got & accepted his official job offer at Overstock.com!!! We are so proud of him!

St George with the Robisons!

Mya and Nick resting on the couch after a long day of work and a 4 hour drive to St George!
Sami and Bailee were so happy to see Mya, they got to St George later than we did but we kept Mya up to say hi!
Sami and Mya ready for our boating trip!
Me, Mya and Bailee lounging on the boat at Sand Hollow Lake in St George.
This lake was beautiful!
Mya munching on a pretzel
Mya and I have the sane earrings...so cute!
Now she's eating some licorice!

She is so fun! She will roll with whatever we do and she's happy to do it!

Playing at the pool! It was over 100 degrees so the water felt great!
Her face lights up when she gets in the water, she honestly loves it!
Getting ready to jump to Dad.......
Then she lunges herself forward!!!! Yay!
She has so much fun diving off the side of the pool to us!
I love this picture!

Me, Sami, Bailee, Carter and Mya.We have so much fun traveling with the Robison's!! We were so glad Nick's sister Carly got to come and didn't have any allergic reactions while we were there.
Swinging at the park.
She was really loving this. :)
When I put her on my lap she just giggled like crazy!
Getting ready to go down the slide.
Woo Hoo! That's a tall slide. She's such a dare devil!
Cousins are awesome! All four of her cousins were so sweet to her. Austin the oldest boy even babysat her for a bit, she loves them all so much! They are great with her even when she wants to take their expensive toys like iphones and ipods, they share all their fun stuff!
This is Nick at like 11:30 in the afternoon...taking a nap! He always says he can't take naps int he middle of the day....ha I had to take a picture and prove him wrong!
Mya and Uncle Brandon. He is the one that taught her the ET trick with her finger!
She is starting to put stuff together like how to put lids on and what specific things are for. One of the things she has started doing lately is brushing her hair....well she tries. Most of the time she ends up clunking the back side of the brush on her head. At least she gets the concept. :)
If you notice the big bruise on her head, she is getting these more and more as she starts pulling herself up on furniture. Also she is pretty fearless so she bonks things a lot. She's getting so big :)




Pool time!!

Cooper and Mya and my Mom's swimming in her pool!

Britt got in the pool with them, they had so much fun!
Here's Mya eating a strawberry while in the pool! She is so funny!
It was really hot today so the pool felt good!

This was freezing cold water coming from the hose and she was not bothered by it at all!

Cooper and Mya sitting on the lawn at the Lindon pool about to go swimming!
Mya and I walked into the pool and I didn't notice I was walking under a bucket. The second we walked under the bucket dumped water and soaked us! It was pretty funny!
We took them in the lazy river and they had a blast!
Here's what happened when we put them in the car...they were both so tired!
This is the bubble bath she got after she woke up from her nap! We had such a fun day at the pool!
